Education is more than books. We want our students to learn how to be kind and caring, and we instill this in them daily through religion class, mass attendance, and the program, Character Counts.

Character Counts includes six pillars focused on and rewarded throughout the year including: Trust, Respect, Responsibility, Fairness, Caring and Citizenship.

Safety is very important in our school so building character helps prevent bullying and keeps school enjoyable for everyone.
